Thanks, this was extremely helpful!  I was finally able to reproduce 
this bug, and tracked it down to the --with-linux-memlock-onfault 
configure option.  I forwarded this to
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3822.

I'm going to disable this option again for now, as it's a recent 
addition and isn't security-critical.
